Harvey Weinstein being moved to Rikers Island

Convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein is being moved to the North Infirmary Command at Rikers Island after undergoing a heart procedure, where he will remain through his sentencing on March 11.

A rep for the disgraced movie mogul told Fox News on Thursday Weinstein is "is being moved to Rikers as we speak." He added that Weinstein, 67, underwent a heart procedure and "is now fit" to be moved to Rikers.

Weinstein was found guilty of rape and sexual assault against two women before being led away in handcuffs on Feb. 24. While he was remanded to jail after the verdict was read in court, Weinstein was transported to Bellevue Hospital in an ambulance after experiencing heart palpitations and high blood pressure after the verdict was read. Weinstein's attorneys earlier had objected to their client being sent to Rikers because of his poor health. New York Supreme Court Judge James Burke said he would make a judiciary request for Weinstein to stay in the Rikers infirmary.

Weinstein was found guilty of third-degree rape of Jessica Mann, an aspiring actress, in a New York City hotel room in 2013. He was also found guilty of a criminal sex act for assaulting production Mimi Haleyi at his apartment in 2006. Weinstein's lawyers have said they are already working on an appeal.

Whenever I hear Rikers, I always think of Jim Carroll’s “People Who Died”....

Brian got busted on a narco rap
He beat the rap by rattin’ on some bikers
He said, hey, I know it’s dangerous
But it sure beats Riker’s
But the next day he got offed
By the very same bikers

Hey Harv, how's your war on the NRA going there on Rikers?

"I am going to need a place to channel that anger so I’ve decided I’m going to give the NRA my full attention. I hope [NRA CEO] Wayne LaPierre will enjoy his retirement party.”

Just listened to that song yesterday and noticed the line when he talks about someone dying in the crypts.

Hmm. I wonder who cares where he is. I imagine nobody.

No they won’t whack him. He wasn’t running a blackmailing syndicate for the Cs

Sure, there may have been some pimping, but that sounds more like a law-suit-in-waiting than a hit job paid for by an abused actress.

I’m not saying there are people who don’t hate the shmuck, just that I don’t think they’re nearly as many nor as powerful as those who flew the jet to Pedo-Island.

He'll only commit "suicide" if he has anything on any members of the political,or cultural,elite.

He may have something on denizens of showbiz but I doubt that that's enough.

Rikers is a jail, not a prison. He’s there only until sentencing, then he’s heading for someplace upstate.
